Meanwhile, the CPN-Maoist has lashed out at the government for arresting their innocent cadres and warned of stronger stir if the cadres are not released immediately.
We demand an immediate release of our cadres who have been arrested at the behest of the UCPN (Maoist), said UCPN (Maoist) central party member Tek Bahadur KC.
UCPN (Maoist) vehicles had been torched in Bihun and Abharbhumi in the district one day before Chairman Dahal arrived in Baglung.
